"Grimjack is the main character of a comic book originally published by First Comics. John Ostrander and Timothy Truman are credited as co-creators of the character, although Ostrander had been developing Grimjack with artist Lenin Delsol before Truman's arrival on the project according to Ostrander's own text piece in Grimjack #75. In that same essay, the writer also revealed having initially conceived the character to be the star of a series of prose stories, set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago.
Grimjack is the street name of John Gaunt, a sword-for-hire, ex-paramilitary, war veteran and former child gladiator. He operates from Munden's Bar in the Pit, a slum area of Cynosure, a pan-dimensional city to which all dimensions connect."

Yeah, I agree. That's what makes something like Axe Cop so much fun. But context is everything, and I really don't get the impression that Grimjack's randomness is meant to be deliberate.
Could be wrong though.

So, he's basically a pirate hero of sorts?? If so, I pass, not really into them which is another reason I never paid any attention to the Pirates Of the Caribbean films.

You guys have no idea. Grimjack is not a pirate hero -- he's more of an anti-hero. I guess I'd describe him as a cross between Snake Plissken and Rick Deckard. Ostrander and Truman made quite the team -- mixing post-apocalyptic sci-fi with hard-boiled film noir. Great action and pacing, I've always enjoyed Ostrander and Truman's tales as a result of getting into indie comics when I started with the '80s run of Ninja Turtle comics. You can't really judge Grimjack till you read it, so give it a shot.

But judging things you have only the basest comprehension of is every comic nerds God given right!
Nah, I might look into it.

"Half Human. Half Alien. All Weapon. When an alien parasite falls to Earth, wheelchair-bound college student Stewart Trautmann becomes infected, and goes through super-human changes that no mortal could imagine. Forced into a galactic war that’s chosen Earth as the battlefield, Stewart defends the front line as…SOLDIER ZERO!"

Oh yeah, that's one of the books I've been meaning to read before Guardians of the Galaxy comes out. It's basically Marvel's answer to Sinestro Corps War, right?
Definitely going to have to check that out.
